2 Samuel 24:22-24

Contemporary English Version

²² Araunah said, “Take whatever you want and offer your sacrifice. Here are some oxen for the sacrifice. You can use the threshing-boards^[a] and the wooden yokes for the fire. ²³ Take them—they're yours! I hope the Lord your God will be pleased with you.”

²⁴ But David answered, “No! I have to pay you what they're worth. I can't offer the Lord my God a sacrifice that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing place and the oxen for 50 pieces of silver.
